19. The Wish (Season 3, Episode 9)
The writers of Buffy enjoyed playing with alternative realities, thus the creation of many reality bending episodes. This one asks the question what would happen if Buffy never came to Sunnydale? The result? The Master is never defeated and Sunnydale is turned into a playground for Vampires.
The episode itself takes on a completely different tone than other episodes in the series. The once bright and colorful Sunnydale atmosphere is turned gray with the feel of a post-apocalyptic town. The episode is well written and well-acted by the full cast. But, perhaps the best thing about this alternate universe is Alyson Hannigan’s Vampire Willow. From nerdy and cute to bad ass and bitchy, Willow’s character does a full 180 as her undead doppelganger.
